As you can see, we now have a shiny new logo!

Before you head into the whole article, we would like to ask you to comment on this post when you are done reading, telling us what you think about the new logo, the story behind Imnica, and our plans for the future.

Let’s start at the beginning…… The name…. Imnica.

MANY people have asked us where the name came from, as well as what does it mean. They wanted to know if it is an abreviation for something, etc……

When I started marketing online, I did as many people do, and started building a brand around my name. I eventually decided against this approach, and decided that I wanted to build something that could be passed on to family, grow exponentially, NOT be tied to my name, etc.

With this in mind, and the main focus of the company being Online Marketing, I wanted to make sure I get a proper .com domain name. I also needed to make sure I get something that is not too long, nor too difficult to remember.

I went in search of domain name suggestion tools, that would also check if the .com is available for it. I eventually found this brilliant free site at: http://www.makewords.com/ which allows you to sellect a language, and set some other parameters, and then suggests some domain names, as well as check on the .com availability.

Here is the sad part……… I sat on this site, refreshing the suggestions for close to 5 hours!!!

The SECOND the domain imnicamarketing.com came up, I KNEW I got it! I called my wife to have a look, and she concurred. SOLD!

So, there you have it…… Imnica does not stand for anything, it does not mean anything, it just came about from me searching for a short, easy to remember .com domain name.

Right so, why the new logo then?

Well the old logo was done by myself, who is a self professed graphics neophyte, on the same day I got the domain. I REALLY suck at graphics, but, I REALLY wanted a logo to go with the new site. So, I sat down for a couple of hours, and did the old one.

As Imnica is growing not only in size, but in scope, I wanted something that would really reflect the professionalism of the company.

So, I went to the best place I know of to get logos done: http://www.designoutpost.com/ and placed a project on there to re-do the Imnica logo.

All the submissions were awesome, and it was really tough to pick one, but, in the end, I picked one that was simple, did not force the customer to think what it means, and was professional.

The result is the logo you now see on all our pages.

I would really like to hear what YOU think of the new logo! Let us know by commenting on this post.

So, the next question we get a lot is: What does Imnica do?

Imnica is an Internet Marketing company. We produce products, services and coaching which teaches people how to, as well as help people, market their products and services on the Internet.

To date, our primary focus has been individuals.

Moving forward, we will do many more products and coaching, focused on individuals, but, our services business will shift focus to businesses.

Why the shift in focus for the service side?

Well, the services we provide are generally more relevant to businesses to start with. We also need to increase our prices for our services to sustain our continued growth.

Imnica is not a one man operation anymore. We have bills to pay, salaries to pay, etc.

So, summing the future up…… Consumer focused products and coaching, and business focused services.

Will we be abandoning consumer focused services altogether?

NO! We will just be adding more business focused ones!

I hope this post has given you some insight into Imnica as well as it’s products, coaching and services, and we would LOVE to hear what you think!
